115 days to go!!

Here it is...  the belly.  Only 115 days to go!  These photos are of my belly at 23 weeks and 4 days.  Can't believe I have a belly!!  Feeling the little guy kick a lot more.  Last night I actually got one that hurt!  Sometimes, if I am watching at the same time, I can see my belly more with the kick.  Ryan has felt a few, but it is hard for him to feel it through my skin.  Still can't believe it is our baby.  So excited for him to be here, but anxious about having a baby.  So far so good though!  Happy days!

The Middle

There you have it!  My middle at 22 weeks pregnant with Baby Boy.  Names suggestions are welcome since we can't decide on a name we both like... 

Party Time!

Here we are with our dear friends, the Johnson's, and their kids.  It was Jenny's actual birthday, but Bob and Ryan also had July birthday's.  I think we celebrated three consecutive weeks of birthdays!  Super fun!  Happy Birthday to everyone with a July birthday!  (Jenny, Joelynn, Mandy, Bob and best of all RYAN!)

We're Back!

Our new FENCE!

9 years ago I started working at a place I call Infomercial Land. 9 years later I was given an incridibly generous bonus for my time working in Infomercial Land. And... here it is!! A NEW FENCE! We LOVE it! I looks amazing! We are so pleased with it, and so grateful for employers, namely ED, who share their generocity with us poor folk... Thanks ED!!

Happy Relaxation Day!!

Well, so there probably isn't an official Happy Relaxation Day, but I designated the day after Thanksgiving as Happy Relaxation Day so we could buy this for ourselves...  It is so relaxing.  Already used it and REALLY, REALLY enjoying it!  Happy Relaxation Day to us! 
(What is pictured isn't ours but it looks pretty close to that, except it is an older model and it is forest green...  Still works good though!)

5 years and still kickin'!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to us!  5 years later and still kickin'!  Ryan planned a wonderful evening for our anniversary celebration.  The best was that he took the night off!  He arranged everything - what I was going to wear, where we ate dinner, what did did for dessert, and so much more!  The photo above is the view from the Orange Hill restaurant we ate at.  It was amazing and the food was also awesome!  It was the first of many visits I am sure.  We had an amazing night!  One we'll always remember!

Ryan, thanks for all you do for me.  Thanks for putting up with me and my quarks.  Thanks for loving me even when I make it difficult.  Thank you for planning an amazing evening and thank you for such thoughtful gifts!  You make me smile.  You make me laugh.  You make me feel loved.  I LOVE YOU!  You are so patient with me and push me to be better when we ride.  You push me to try harder to never quit.  You make my heart melt!  I think about you all day, and dream about you all night!  I long to spend time with you.  I look forward to meeting you for lunch.  I love it that you cry with me.  I love that you are sensitive.  I love that you can be silly with me.  I love that you enjoy making me happy.  I love spending all day in bed with you.  I love watching TV with you and watching you immerse yourself into the show.  I love to see how excited you get with your new toys.  I LOVE watching you play with babies and kids.  You are amazing with them.  I long for the day when we will have our own children.  You try so hard and I appreciate it and love it!  I want to make you just as happy as you make me!  I want to make you want to be better.  To try harder.  I want to be the friend you have been to me.  Thank you for making the last 5 years amazing!  I love you!  I need you!  Happy Anniversary my love!
